This is my governor’s response to federal troops using unmarked SUVs to basically abduct citizens from the streets. Please help Portland be outraged! https://twitter.com/OregonGovBrown/status/1283913150014926848
Here’s what is happening for those outside of Oregon. It appears there is a media blackout on this and it’s NOT making national news. https://twitter.com/dburbach/status/1283936410043637763?s=21

US Attorney For Oregon Calls For Investigation Into Portland Protester Arrests

U.S. Attorney Billy Williams said Friday he wants an investigation into actions of federal officers who have pulled Portland protesters off the street and into unmarked vehicles.

I should mention that the entire city isn't under siege like the right-wing media and Faux News would want you to believe. It's still a beautiful city. https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2020/07/feds-right-wing-media-paint-portland-as-city-under-siege-a-tour-of-town-shows-otherwise.html
Feds, right-wing media paint Portland as ‘city under siege.’ A tour of town shows otherwise

In a city of 650,000 spread out over 145 square miles, national figures focus on police crackdowns on protesters on a scant few blocks night after night.

Remember Portland, remember. Before the feds were beating on us, the local police were doing it.

A friend in a FB feed said this due to the acting deputy secretary:

Are they SERIOUSLY trying to pull “they were asking for it, look how they were dressed.”

Yes, social media isn’t helping with the misinformation spread. I had to document that this buffoon of a official had the gall to say “it looks like you’re asking for trouble because of how you are dressed”

It’s not helpful.
Some good news regarding the protests from the ACLU:

Wonder if it will help... I’m usually an optimist, but in this case I’m doubtful. https://twitter.com/ACLU/status/1286457637161377792
I have more. If you’re going to protest, please be prepared!

Yes I retweet the atrocities at the hands of the feds and PPB during the PEACEFUL PROTESTS.

I must also retweet that the rest of Portland outside that small 6 block radius is normal. (As normal as we can be in a pandemic.)

Just so anyone outside of Portland knows, the only thing I’m under siege from is the hot summer weather. It’s supposed to be hot for a couple more days. I really dislike it above 90.

#portlandisnotundersiege #fedsandpoliceinstigateviolence
Adding to the thread, because the narrative that Portland is on fire will not go away. The only thing the entire city is on fire from is mid-90 degree summer weather. Otherwise we good.

Good news!

Now the PPB can be the only ones to beat up on the protesters. (Remember my remember tweet?)

Just so everyone knows, the feds may have been removed from Portland, but that doesn’t mean the violence by “law enforcement” has stopped. PPB is up to their old shenanigans of being violent towards protesters.

This article from June helps explain. https://www.portlandmercury.com/blogtown/2020/06/05/28509410/research-says-violent-cops-cause-violent-protests

Surprise! I’m not done.

The protests haven’t stopped. Today’s was a right wing “protest” downtown. So much fragility is shown here it’s almost unbearable. If the peaceful protesters did this, we’d be under strict curfew daily.

There’s still more. Want to know another reason why Portland has been protesting for 90+ days?

This. This entire thread. The city is continuously bombarded by outsiders trying to tear us apart for being liberal. Yep and BLM

This amazing hero came to the aid of the man who was shot. She could have saved his life. The police made her leave him to die.

This thread documents our 95th day of protests. Make sure to read down far enough to see police bull rushing and beating on and punching protesters. They should be held accountable! https://twitter.com/mrolmos/status/1300674118434435073?s=21
